Question
I have little white bumps on my Libia minora. When I use the bathroom it is very painful. I recently used a tampon for the first time, and I also changed detergents. Is it possible that this is an allergic reaction? I have never had UNproteced sex.
Answer
Sometimes, if you leave a tampon in too long, it makes your vagina very dry, which might hurt when you pee. Allergies maybe, too, so try a warm bath, no tampons for a while, and see your doctor if it does not get better. Good luck!
